Wintersun is a Finnish metal band with power metal, viking metal, and melodic death metal influences founded by ex-Ensiferum frontman Jari Mäenpää.
The first Wintersun album was supposed to be a side project of Ensiferum member Jari Mäenpää. However, the Ensiferum Europe tour was unfortunately scheduled for the same time with recordings of Wintersun. Mäenpää was forced to choose between his booked recording time for Wintersun and Ensiferum; he chose Wintersun and was forced to leave Ensiferum behind. The Album was produced solely by Jari Mäenpää himself, with only a session drummer (Kai Hahto) to perform the drums and percussion. Jari performed the vocals, bass, guitars and synth alone. On September 13, 2004 self-titled Wintersun album was released through Nuclear Blast Records.
According to their website, the band started to record their next full-length release called Time at Sonic Pump Studios in May of 2006. The mixing was meant to take place in the autumn of 2006, but had to be delayed until May 2007. In April 2007, a further delay has been announced, pushing the album's release date to 2008. * Jari Mäenpää - vocals and guitar * Teemu Mäntysaari - guitar * Jukka Koskinen - bass * Kai Hahto - drums

You don't like Wintersun and yet you look it up just to post your hating opinion.

@Talttua Oh yes, anyone who makes an informed statement on music must be a troll! because no one wants to admit they like shitty things.
Wannabes in denial, you are.

@TriszzBrownstone Wintersun is Ensiferum minus all the shallow folk bullshit. Anyone who thinks that generic folk metal band is better than this is an idiot.
That being said. This IS just Ensiferum with some horrible melodeath/Children of Bodom worship.
Man do I remember all the trendy shits spazzing over melodeath, especially Wintersun. For what?
Overrated piece of shit.
